Most large corporations have programs for social responsibility and community involvement. This is a great idea for a small business too.

What you will gain from supporting a charity or non-profit organization:

• The opportunity to give back
• Community support and good will – People are more apt to support businesses they feel are part of their world.
• The opportunity to support causes you believe in – It is great if you can tie your business purpose to a particular charity but if you can’t simply pick a charity that you are passionate about.
• Company morale – This can boost company morale by bringing employees together to support something that is separate from the office
• Marketing and business strategy – This is a way for you to reach out and connect with community members on a different platform

That figure has been increasing since 2000 and "it's really hard to say why," said Robert Anderson, who oversees the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention branch that issued the report Wednesday.
